The European Union has stated that Iran is very close to being able to make a nuclear weapon. While Iran insists that its nuclear program is strictly for peaceful energy matters, the U.S. and Israel are more than skeptical. The BBC News said that Israeli President, Shimon Peres "Told the assembly that the Islamic republic had 'built a danger to the entire world."' He also urged the U.N Security Council to do something about Iran's program, saying that it is their responsibility to stop the violence before it occurs.
Recently the IAEA encouraged Iran to come clean and give specifics concerning their program. Mohamed ElBaradei, the IAEA chief, said that Iran needed to provide “substantive information to support its statements and access to relevant documentations and individuals.”
This skepticism angers Iran, needless to say. On Tuesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran would "resist 'bullying powers' trying to thwart what he called its peaceful nuclear ambitions."
